This document describes 3M's interconnect solutions, including the 3M™ Round Conductor Flat Cable. The cable features 22 AWG stranded copper conductors with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation in dark gray color. The cable has high insulation resistance, unbalanced characteristic impedance, and capacitance. The product is RoHS compliant and does not contain hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, or polybrominated diphenyl ethers. The cable is suitable for 300V voltage in the USA and 150V voltage in Canada.
The 3M 8124 Series Round Conductor Flat Cable is a 22 AWG tinned stranded copper cable with a PVC insulation and a dark‑gray wire on a light‑gray carrier. It is designed for power applications that require higher current‑carrying capability and offers flexibility and extended product life.
The sheet lists electrical ratings (300 V USA, 150 V Canada, <50 V EU), temperature range (‑20 °C to +105 °C), flammability rating (VW‑1/FT1), and key electrical parameters such as capacitance (11.0 pF/ft), inductance (0.15 µH/ft) and propagation delay (1.30 ns/ft). Ordering information, dimensions for each part number, and RoHS compliance details are also included.
